The Cheney family feud over gay marriage is escalating. Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughters Liz and Mary haven’t spoken since the summer, the New York Times reports, and things got worse Sunday. Senate hopeful Liz spoke out against gay marriage on “Fox News Sunday,” prompting her lesbian sister to write on Facebook, “Liz — this isn’t just an issue on which we disagree — you’re just wrong — and on the wrong side of history.”

Monday afternoon, Dick and Lynne Cheney issued a statement saying their daughter Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage. Here’s a tweet, and a few others in reaction.
